Since my one-month-old baby's cough and stuffy nose are not getting better with Mucolite drops and nebulizer treatments, is it safe to use the nebulizer as needed, and what are the side effects or limits to using it?
For a one-month-old baby, it is not safe to use a nebulizer 'as needed' without strict medical guidance. The safe limits and side effects depend entirely on the specific medicine being nebulized (such as sterile saline or bronchodilators). Overusing nebulized medications can cause side effects like a rapid heart rate, restlessness, or worsening airway irritation. Since the cough and stuffiness aren't improving with Mucolite (ambroxol) and current treatments, please consult your pediatrician immediately.
